Apparently, there’s nothing nicer than sleeping in the treetops with the aid of tree hammocks (although never whilst working!)

He’s a big fan of cricket – especially recent world cup finals!! And as a result, can often be found perusing the sports section of the newspaper.

Facts about

Richard

:

Richard can’t get enough of Fell walking in the Lake District - old favourite is scrambling in the Langdale Pikes.

He loves to put on his grandfather’s braces and head down the allotment; courgettes have done well this year and fritters are the family favourite!

Thinks long journeys aren’t the same without an Audio Book – latest is John Steinbeck’s ‘Travels with Charley’.

Is rather partial to a Ploughman’s lunch (definitely after a long walk).
